Description Georgiy Treyvus 2014-01-10 04:14:46 UTC 
These are the instructions I followed to the letter and taken straight from GNOME's "Help" application:

You can also enable the hibernate option in the menus. To do that, use your favorite text editor to create /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/org.gnome.enable-hibernate.pkla. Add the following to the file and save:
[Re-enable hibernate by default]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate
ResultActive=yes

They do not work. How do I enable hibernate?

Ugh, this documentation has been merged from Ubuntu/Unity[0] and is wrong. Reassigning.

You can install the alternate-status-menu extension, but stock GNOME does not expose hibernate. See Allan's explanation in bug 705226 for the rationale.

The name is 'alternative-status-menu' - sorry, my bad ...

And there is no alternative-status-menu for 3.10, because 3.10 has the new status menu. You want https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/755/hibernate-status-button/ instead.

Nice workaround. Thank you. :-)
